Debbie Lucero, Physician Legal Liaison and Credentialing Manager, has been named the Center of Spine and Orthoepedics’ Associate-of-the-Month for January. Debbie joined CSO in 2001, starting as a receptionist at CSO’s front desk.

The individual nominating Debbie wrote:

“Debbie has been with the office for several years. She makes sure that CSO physicians are current with their credentialing. She is the main “go to person” for all the providers and does a fabulous job keeping all of it in order. Debbie works extremely hard and should be rewarded for all of her achievements.”

Another co-worker wrote, “There are so, so many details that go into one single credentialing application, not to mention the mountains of medical legal cases that she handles. Besides ALL that, the call schedule is a job in itself. She is like three departments in one bubbly, little lady. THANKS, Debbie for all that you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Debbie is married and has two daughters, a son and seven grandchildren. She and her husband, Lonnie, enjoy ice fishing in the winter. Debbie received a Gordman’s gift card for earning recognition as Associate-of-the-Month.
